1 Paper presented at The First Arctic Ungulate Conference, Nuuk, Greenland, 3-8 September, 1991 Preliminary investigations on the parasite burden and distribution of endoparasite species of muskox (Ovibos moschatus) and caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) in West Greenland H.

Abstract: In the autumn muskoxen and 5 caribou from Angujaartorpfiup Nunaa, West Greenland, were parasitologically examined. The findings included gastro-intestinal parasites as Eimeria spp., Ostertagia circumcincta, Ostertagia trifurcata, Teladorsagia davtiani y Marshallagia marshalli, Nematodirella longissimespicula Nematodirus helvetianus and Moniezia expansa. No pulmonic or hepatic parasites were detected. A theoretically possible interaction of parasite species between muskox and caribou is most likely in the case of Ostertagia spp. and N. longissimespiculata. Preliminary investigations on the contamination of infective larvae (third stage larvae of gastro-intestinal nematodes) showed great differences on herbage from different types of habitats in the research area. A moist dwarf schrub heat on a north facing slope being the most contaminated (1643 L 3 /kg of dry herbage). Key words: Parasites, muskoxen, caribou, West Greenland, cross transmission, larval contamination, management. Rangifer, 13 (4): Introduction In 1962 and 1965 muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) from Rypefjord, East Greenland were transplanted to Angujaartorfiup Nunaa, West Greenland after wintering in Copenhagen Zoo, Denmark. Regarding population parameters including age of sexual maturity, calf production and growth rate, the muskox population of West Greenland range among the most succesful (Olesen, 1990). The Greenland caribou (Rangifer tarandus groelandicus) is indigenous in Angujaartorfiup Nunaa and is the only other species of ruminant living in the area. Alendal & Helle (1983) examined helminth parasites in muskoxen from Norway and Sweden and gave a synopsis of parasite species previously reported from this host. A study on gastrointestinal nematodes of domestic sheep in South Greenland was carried out by Rose (1990), but until now no systematic, parasitological investigation has been done on caribou in West Greenland or on the rapidly expanding population of muskoxen. However report on the occurrence of the tapeworm Moniezia expansa and a bladderworm has been given from East Greenland (Alendal & Helle, 1983). Nema- Rangifer, 13 (4),
2 todirella longispiculata was found in some caribou calves by Clausen et al. (1980) and both warble fly larvae (Hypoderma tarandi) and nasal botfly larvae (Cephenomyia trompe) have been reported in caribou from Angujaartorfiup Nunaa (Olesen, 1990). The aim of this work is to elucidate the burden and composition of different parasite species in West Greenland muskoxen and caribou. Material and methods Five muskoxen and five caribou were killed in August 1990 near Lake Ferguson and in 0rkendalen in the eastern part of the Angujaartorfiup Nunaa area. are identified in this paper as Om and caribou by Rt each with a suffix (1-5). Date and location of killing, sex, age and body weight are summarised in Table 1. Parasitological examination of lungs and gastrointestinal tracts, digestion of abomasal mucosa, isolation and indentification of nematodes was carried out according to Korsholm (1988). When the small intestine was subdivided, the following exceptions were made: Tj represented the orally 2 m, T n the following 6 m and T i n the rest of the small intestine. According to Henriksen (1971) herbage samples were collected in four different habitats located in 0rkendalen: Moist grassland, meadow, Kobresia steppe and moist dwarf shrub heath on a north facing slope. The content of infective nematode parasite larvae were estimated by a makro-baermann technique described by Henriksen (1982). Carcasses were skinned and hides examined for warble fly larvae scars. Results In the faecal samples a low number of coccidia oocysts were found in 3 muskoxen and 3 caribou (Table 2). All oocysts belonged to Eimeria spp. In muksoxen at least two different types of Eimeria spp. were represented. Strongyle eggs were found in 4 muskoxen and in 4 caribou. The strongyle EPG (eggs per gramme of faeces) tended to be higher in musk- Table 1.

The 5-6 year old muskox bull (Om 5 ) represented the highest count (1300). A low number of cestode eggs (Moniezia spp.) were detected in muskoxen, but in none of the caribou (Table 2). Neither fluke eggs nor lungworm larvae were seen in either of the two host species. In caribou the gastrointestinal nematodes (GInematodes) were almost solely located in the abomasum (Table 3). The distribution tended to be alike in muskoxen, as abomasum carried 92 % of the mean Gl-nematode burden. In muskoxen small intestine the T n subsample held a higher mean number (1.296) of nematodes than Tj and T m (Table 3). No specimens were found in caecum or colon in any of the two host species (Table 3). carried more nematodes than caribou (Table 3). In contradiction to findings in the intestinal subsamples the mean number of larvae in the digested caribou abomasal mucosa tended to exceed that of muskoxen (Table 4). Nematode males of Ostertagia circumcincta (Stadelmann, 1844) Ransom, 1907; Ostertagia trifurcata Ransom, 1907; Teladorsagia davtiani Andreeva et Satubaldin, 1954 and Marshallagia marshalli (Ransom, 1907) Orloff, 1933 were recorded in all of both host species. Specimens of the circumcincta-complex (O. circumcincta and its polymorfs O. trifurcata/t. davtiani) were most abundant in muskoxen (87,6 %) and M. marshalli was most numerous in caribou (51,0 %) (Table 5). Nematodirus helvetianus May, 1920 and Nematodirella longissimespiculata (Romanovitsch, 1915) Skrjabin et Schikhobalova, 1952 and a not yet identified species of Nematodirus were found in substantial numbers in muskoxen small intestine (Table 5). The few Gl-nematode males found in Tj and T n from caribou belonged to species with abomasum as the predelection site (Table 5). The cestode Moniezia expansa (Rudolphi, 1905) Blanchard, 1891 was isolated from Tjj or T m in all five muskoxen. In contrast no cestodes were seen in caribou. Between 96 and 225 scars caused by warble fly larvae (Hypoderma tarandi) were found in all 5 caribou. Intensivly grazing was observed in all 4 habitats where herbage samples were collected. Although infective Gl-nematode larvae were found in all 4 samples some differences in contamination apparently existed. The less sun exposed and most moist habitat, a moist dwarf shrub heath on a north facing slope, seemed to be the most contaminated (1643 L 3 /kg of dry herbage) of the habitats. Larvae of Ostertagia spp. were dominant in all habitats. Rangifer, 13 (4),

We detected only 6 or 7 nematode species and 1 cestode species in this host. All helminths were located in the gastrointestinal tract (Table 5). The spectrum was even more limited in caribou, carrying only 4 nematode species, - solely belonging to species with predilection site in the abomasum (Table 3 and 5). Although caribou and muskoxen select different herbage in the summer period (Olesen, 1991), differences in nematode infection level might also be a result of differences in hosts resistance or immunity rather than in larval uptake. The findings of high numbers of nematode larvae in the abomasal mucosa of caribou indicate a considerable larval uptake. Differences in the distribution of species is also believed to be a result of host resistance or host specificity of the parasites. The abscense of typically intestinal helminths in the small intestine in caribou, especially Nematodirella longissimespiculata (syn: Nematodirella longispicaulata) were in contrast to the findings of Clausen et al. (1980). This may be explained by the small sample size or the absence of calves in the present material. Sharing the same spectrum of species in the abomasum a cross transmission of parasites between the two hosts is possible. This conclusion is also supposed to be true of Nematodirella longissimespiculata. Although being a pilot study, the larval contamination in herbage from a moist dwarf shrub heath on a north facing slope reached a level equal to Danish cattle paddocks with a stocking rate of 6-12 heads per hectar (Hansen, 1982) or of 11 heads of sheep per 1,3 hectar (Thamsborg, 1987). Concerning Ostertagia spp. larvae, the counts were approximately 30 % higher than in herbage from a. heavily sheep grazed area at a mouth of a stream in South Greenland (Rose, 1990). In agreement with the findings in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) (Korsholm, 1988) the GInematode burden was less in the caribou and; the muskox yearlings (Rt 3 and Om 3 ) than in elder individuals. Alendal & Helle (1983) supposed a low resistance to parasite infections in muskoxen. The present study indicated that the nematode burden was higher in muskoxen than in caribou (Table 3 and 5). The fact that West Greenland muskoxen show an excellent performance (Olesen et aly 1991) and at the same time do carry heavy worm burdens should not lead to a conclusion of ignoring parasites as a potential problem in muskox management. The West Greenland muskoxen were transplanted to an area where quality and availability of food resources 188 Rangifer, 13 (4), 1993
5 were good (Olesen 1990 and 1991), and where the climate is stable with low precipitation. In the beginning they lived under low stress, surrounded by potential muskox habitats. Therefore overcrowding and high social stress were avoided by migration. These favourable circumstances are supposed to surpass the possible negative influence of the parasites.
